St. Luke's Program Provides Transportation, Housing, Food, Other Services Ancillary To Health Care

Collin Hunter (in blue shirt) and Samuel Peterson are pre-medicine students at Boise State University and will be the first two students to participate in a new program at St. Luke’s called Total Health in the Emergency Department.

Targeting specific populations for wraparound support has been referred to in the health care community as “hotspotting.” Transportation, housing, even access to food can impact a patient’s health and health care. St. Luke’s is working on a new hotspotting program.
